MEDIA REVIEWS
For my money,this was the birth of modern science fiction. Mary Shelley invented science fiction with Frankenstein,but The Time Machineis something else. I like to try to imagine people reading this when itwas originally published as a newspaper serial in 1895 England. Stillunforgettable,thrilling,haunting.
